THE BOOB REVEAL???

Hi Everyone!
I am actually happy it is Monday already. Why? Well a few months ago my friend Debbie over at CraftyMoose had made a polymer bead. She looked it over and decided to cut it in half to make some interesting cabs. Here post on those cabs had me cracking up. She thought they looked like boobs. You have to see this post because that thought never crossed my mind.  (check out her blog to see the post)
After some emailing Debbie and I decided to do a mini fun challenge. A dueling of beads. As always my time flew by and I ended up making a simple necklace. Debbie and I have not see each other's creations but we decided to show them off today.  Soooo here is my Boob Reveal.

First off the cabs Debbie made




Drum roooolllllll here is what I came up with


 I used my technique of lacy flatwork


Debbie and I talked about different things to do with the finished pieces. For me I would like to offer this necklace up for auction. All the  money will go to Breast Cancer. So if you are interested make an offer. Highest bid wins.

LOL..I so would not have thought that until YOU said something Debbie.

I think with your beadwork around them they will be lovely. All I SAW was a beautiful spiral of colors.

Hugs,

PS. I looked at the necklace but didn't read the post. I'm kinda backwards like that.
OMG....this is too funny! I noticed that the beads looked like Boobs. But, I tend to see things like that when others don't. I went to Debbbie's site and looked at her's too.
Great idea to auction them and donate it to Breast Cancer Research. If you don't mind I'd like to post this on FB for a few of my friends who have had Breast Cancer. Let me know!!
thanks
Julz
